Chapter Thirty-Eight: Leaving the Soul
Fu Zhu anxiously used his left front paw to scratch on the tablet, stumbling and tossing for more than an hour, one paw was not enough to put all four paws together, and even created his own emoji without a teacher, and finally explained Xu Mu's itinerary and experience yesterday.
According to the description of the combination of husband and four claws, Feng Yuan basically pieced together all the places and people Xu Mu walked and met yesterday on paper. He frowned and looked back and forth at those places twice, and finally drew a circle on the words "Jiulong Mall" with his pen.
Qingping Lane and several other communities and business buildings are places where Xu Mu often appears in delivery, and the two monsters in Qingping Lane yesterday belong to the frequent customers of the courier brother.
The most likely problem is the shopping mall that Wang Lotian and Song Zhiming took him to at the end, especially half an hour after Song Zhiming separated from them.
They stayed for almost three hours, which was enough time if anyone really wanted to do anything.
It's just that I don't know whether Xu Mu inadvertently became a victim, or if the other party came against him.
The former is just a matter of luck, the latter ...... Feng Yuan narrowed his eyes with a grim expression.
"Meow meow!" Fu Zhu anxiously wrapped Feng Yuan's fingers with the tip of his furry tail, and screamed softly, motioning for Feng Yuan to look at Xu Mu.
At this moment, Xu Mu, whose face was as pale as paper, had no reaction at all, and seemed to have fainted completely.
A light yellow light and shadow loomed, wandering out of his forehead like a tadpole, and the other wisp of speed had completely detached from his body, swaying in the room, it seemed to be Xu Mu's three souls and seven spirits.
Soul out of the body?
Feng Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly made a seal with three fingers, slapped the two rays of light and shadow back into Xu Mu's forehead, reached out to check Xu Mu's snort, and saw that he was still breathing, so he was slightly relieved.
He then overlapped his index finger and middle finger, pressed it on Xu Mu's forehead, and carefully probed it, only to find that one soul was missing from Xu Mu's three souls and seven spirits, which was the fetal light, commonly known as the heavenly soul. Feng Yuan immediately moved his fingers to Xu Mu's forehead, and the blue light slowly poured out, spreading from head to toe, gently wrapping Xu Mu's body and preventing his soul from drifting away again.
After a few breaths, Xu Mu's face gradually softened, but there was no sign of sobering up.
The soul is separated from the body, and someone can quietly steal Xu Muyi's soul under his nose?
Unless it's a soul dementor!
Feng Yuan's brows furrowed, and he immediately used the soul search technique to check around, but he didn't find the wisp of heavenly soul that Xu Mu had lost anywhere.
Feng Yuan's face was dark, and he took out his mobile phone and called Wang Letian.
"Ah Yuan, call me at this time, do you want to ask me to have lunch?" Wang Dashao's mood today sounded brighter than the weather, and his voice was as warm as if he had been sunburned in the sun.
"Is Song Zhiming next to you?" Feng Yuan on this side was as cold as nine cold days.
"He, are you looking for him?" Wang Letian raised his voice in disbelief, and after a pause for two seconds, he asked as if someone had pried the corner, "Ah Yuan, do you want to give up from the beginning?"
"In a hurry, give him the phone quickly. Feng Yuan didn't have the slightest intention of gagging with him.
Wang Dashao glared angrily at Song Zhiming, who was reading the report next to him, pulled his palm, and slapped his mobile phone rudely and forcefully, "Ah Yuan said he was looking for you." ”
Looking for me?
Song Zhiming raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and raised the mobile phone to his ear, "Hello, I'm Song Zhiming." ”
"When Xiao Mu and you went around Jiulong yesterday, did you get close to any unclean things?" Feng Yuan asked directly. After seeing Song Zhiming by Wang Letian's side, Feng Yuan went to check his temporary residence records in the human world, Qingqiu has a nine-tailed lineage, and he originally cultivated the Tiangang righteous path, and in the human world, it is a big help for the Public Security Bureau to maintain tranquility, which can be regarded as a clean family.
Song Zhiming looked at Wang Letian, who tried to pretend not to care, but desperately pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, put his left hand to his lips and cleared his throat, avoided a few steps, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, "No, I can guarantee that during the time I was there, nothing unclean ever approached the two of them." What's wrong with Xiao Mu?"
Wang Letian stared at Song Zhiming's back, as if there were thousands of feathers tlucking back and forth in his heart, he was so curious, what can Feng Yuan have to talk about with a workaholic?
"The high fever does not go away, and I am unconscious. The three souls and seven spirits are in turmoil, and the heavenly soul seems to be gone, and I suspect that he has been used with some kind of soul dementoring spell. Feng Yuan briefly explained the situation, and pinched his forehead with a headache. He can destroy the soul of a demon or a human with a single hand, but he is helpless on how to protect the soul from the evil arts.
"Soul dementoring should be the specialty of Taoist priests. Song Zhiming was silent for two seconds, and then lowered his voice and said, "I remember hearing from a friend a few days ago that there is a Taoist from a famous family who has just arrived in Shanghai recently, and he is very good at catching ghosts and warding off evil spirits, and he is very famous, so he should be able to crack the evil arts." I should be able to find out where he lives if I need to. Are you and Xiao Mu at home now? Within an hour, I can send someone to take him to your house. ”
Is there any mistake, Wang Dashao dissatisfiedly slashed Song Zhiming who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his eye knife over and over again, what do you two still need to avoid talking about with me? This is too abnormal!
"The sooner the better, as long as he can retrieve Xiao Mu's soul, I will pay as much as I want. Feng Yuan let out a long sigh and hung up the phone worriedly.
He thought for a few seconds, and immediately grabbed the phone and called Zhou Ye, "Help me find out which demons and spirits are nearby who are good at soul dementoring, and pass the information to me immediately." ”
Xu Mu slept in a daze, feeling as if he had a sweet dream, someone pushed him violently, woke up, it was time to get up and send the courier!
That's right, courier!
A white light flashed in Xu Mu's mind, and he woke up in his sleep and quickly opened his eyes.
At your feet is a busy street, a half-man-high green belt, a sparkling lake, a row of spired stores, horns, talking, the click of heels on cement bricks, all kinds of noise, on the opposite bus stop advertising light box, a coolly dressed beauty holding half a spoonful of blueberry ice cream, smile and figure are outrageously sweet.
What's going on?
Xu Mu looked around in confusion, and felt that the scenery was very familiar, this is the only way for him to get off work, Yudai Lake Park?
How did you end up here?
Even if you go to work, you should take the subway!
Xu Mu scratched his ears, inexplicably lowered his head and swept around himself, only to find something even stranger, he was actually wandering barefoot on the road in sky blue white polka dot pajamas at this moment!
It can't be sleepwalking, right?
The bustling people walked by him in a hurry, walking past him without squinting, and when he didn't exist at all, his strange appearance didn't arouse the slightest interest and attention of passers-by, and everyone didn't even look at him.
Xu Mu looked at the people passing by in a daze, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Hey, are you alright?" someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Xu Mu turned his head and found a man standing next to him who was about the same height as Feng Yuan, who should not be much older than himself, with eyebrows like a sword, sideburns like knives, and lacquer-like eyes, as if embedded in two bright stars, blazing brightly, and a heroic aura was naturally entrenched in his forehead.
The man's lips were slightly thick, his skin was dark, and his color was darker than that of the rude man who lived opposite the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop, which was simply a sunbathed version. just matched his slightly twisted eyebrows, and the sharp corners of his eyes complemented each other, adding a bit of domineering momentum.
While the man looked at Xu Mu, he also glanced at the ground around him vigilantly, he was dressed like a costume character in a TV series, to be precise, it should be a military general, with cowhide boots on his feet, his black hair tied up, without a hood, and a bright golden armor on the outside of his dark red barnyard coat, especially the part of the heart guard, the lines are exquisite, and the light under the sun is brilliant, so that people can hardly open their eyes.
Although it is very handsome, it is obviously not in the right era, and it does not fit in with the modern buildings and ordinary passers-by around it. It's like a veritable traverser.
Is it the actors of the crew or cosplay?
Xu Mu couldn't believe that someone would dress like this and go shopping, of course, he himself is half a pound and eight taels now, and his barefoot pajamas are not much better.
"Hey, General Ben is talking to you!" The man's eyebrows twisted deeper, and he patted Xu Mu's shoulder impatiently.
General Ben?
This familiar name reminded Xu Mu inexplicably of the shark skin sheath knife last night, he reflexively swept around, and sure enough, he found that the old man was sitting on a stone chair a few steps away last night, with the black sheath next to him.
How can there be such a coincidence!
"You...... Could it be the sword spirit of that knife, right?" Xu Mu's gaze circled back and forth between the stone chair and the general, and he was uncertain.
After looking around the neighborhood a few times and not finding the kitten from yesterday, the man's demeanor loosened a little, he hugged his arms, stood unconsciously with a little ruffian, and looked at Xu Mu's gaze, "Boy, you are quite smart." Then why did you make yourself the way you are?"
What does this look like now?
Xu Mu looked down at the appearance that he had just gotten up from the bed, and scratched his ears embarrassedly, "It's here when you wake up." ”
"You don't know where you are?" the man curled the corners of his mouth and leaned casually against the protective railing of the green belt.
"What's the situation?" Xu Mu looked down at himself, except for his disheveled clothes, it was quite normal.
The man smiled playfully, and gesturedly raised his left leg in the air, and a passing little girl ran through his leg unconsciously.
Xu Mu: ..................
"You can try it too. The man raised his chin at him.
The back of Xu Mu's neck was cold, and he tentatively slowly raised his hand to block a boy with headphones, who passed through his arm and walked over without changing his face.
Damn, I won't wake up and become a ghost for no reason!
Xu Mu looked at his intact arm in amazement, "I'm dead?"
"You're not dead now, you're just out of your soul. The man shook his head, "However, if you don't happen to meet General Ben, your heavenly soul will be taken away by someone, and if you can't find it, it will be a matter of time before you die." ”
It was not eleven o'clock when the doorbell rang.
Feng Yuan opened the door, only to find a not unfamiliar face standing outside the door. The blue white-edged robe, the goose-yellow little baggage, and the smooth top of his head are the little Taoist priests I have seen before, Shen Liang. Behind him stood two bodyguards in black clothes and sunglasses, obviously sent by Song Zhiming.
"Immeasurable, I'm ......" Shen Liang bowed his hand with a stiff face, and was about to introduce himself, when he saw Feng Yuan, his eyes immediately widened, "It's you?"
